Bonnie's words: ok, so I'll just say it once: I don't own Bleach or any of its characters, Tite Kubo does. But I do own the characters that are unique to my imagination and this story, so don't steal it hahaha I don't have any idea of how many chapters 'Smiling Moon' will have, but I'll post as soon as I finish writing.

"Bla bla bla" means that someone is speaking

'Bla bla bla' means that someone is thinking

Prologue

They say that friendship develops happiness and reduces suffering by doubling your joy and dividing your grief. And they're right. In the past few months, her heart was falling apart. She was out of her way. Every step she took into the light was followed by two of darkness. And then they showed her the way. They cared about her, they protected her, not because they had to, but because they wanted. They were friends. And she wasted all of it.

The hate, the thirst for revenge… she was tired of all that stuff. She knew about her noblesse oblige and was ready to die for it. She would smile and embrace death as seeing an old friend, and with a heart full of good feelings and uncountable memories she would leave in peace.

'You know' she thought while closing her eyes and smiling for the last time 'death seems less terrible when you're tired'
